Didn't you notice the word "foreign", tucked quietly away in the clause?
What does that word tell you that I'm talking about?
If I were talking about the money-grubbing corporation at the end of my street, I would have used the words "the money-grubbing corporation at the end of my street".

Well foreign depends upon where you live, no?
So - taking the context from your post (q.v.)[^]
And money grubbing horrendous practices are basically a defect in capitalism (in its search for profits) and socialism (in it's take-it-or-leave-it quality model). Not that either has to behave that way - they just always do.
The us-and-them reminds of a currently active political candidate's strategy - but rallying Europe against the US is always popular for European politicians. Works here, too.
Consider Takata airbags[^]. A model for which all industry can strive!

I'm not rallying anyone; I am simply being accurate with my words and providing a highly pertinent point -- that I have little recourse to law over the actions of FOREIGN corporations.

Hell, here in the US we have the same problem with DOMESTIC corporations. And there's the problem of our domestic corporations "moving headquarters" to foreign countries to cheat the citizens out of taxes owed, but I digress.

Money grubbing is business and economics at its finest. Given a small supply or high demand, the company can up its price to make more money. The main focus of business is to increase the stockholder's capital in the company. Look at the drug company selling Epipens. It is ugly, the company is making huge profits, but the customers need the medication. And, the company's product is protected by patents. Yes it does make me sick to see such blatant greed and disregard for your fellow human being.
Capitalism does work best in a mutually cooperative environment rather than a spy-vs-spy world. Maybe we can add restrictions to patents to where the holder cannot sell for more than 5% of some set value.

Funny I only remember people saying "Thank God for Europe!"

Every now and again I wind up Edge and that reminds why I dislike it so much compared to IE or Chrome.
|
|
|
|
|
Edge is still missing one essential option (Chrome is also missing it by the way!): Option to automatically switch to a new tab when I right-click --> Open in new tab.
Both IE and Firefox have that option, not Edge, not Chrome.
I hate it when I see a new tab open and not being brought to it automatically... why the hell did I open it if I didn't want to go there?

Try holding Ctrl+Shift when you click a link. Only workaround I know of.
Cheers!

I developed a bespoke HTML editor for use in our intranet as the editor for articles, etc. it works completely with IE9+, Chrome, Opera, Safari, Vivaldi and even Firefox. I have just been told that I might now have to make it work with Edge as we are having to now support Windows 10 as we get new PCs in. My solution is to make sure Chrome is installed as standard and default on our new PC images! 
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Why is edge the default PDF viewer when opening from an email - oh right Office 365, keep it in the family.

Oh yes, I said in a previous comment I have no complaints with it as a browser, but as a PDF reader, well, where do I start?

I quite like Edge as an alternative when Chrome goes belly-up on me while debugging, or something like that. I have no complaints with it as a browser.

It's not the browser that bugs me.
It's the lack of respect for my settings. Deliberately resetting only settings that relate to your choice of browser is lame.

Most true. My system happily sticks fast to Chrome, I never see anything about Edge at all, unless I explicitly open Edge.

I like Windows 10 and I like Edge. It is not a mature browser, but I really like Edge style and I use it by default. But I have to install other browsers for testing purposes and what bothers me is that they all want to be the favorite, the default.
Browsers not only request to be the favorites in the installation, they repeat their demand even if you tell them to not repeat it. And not only the browsers request to be themselves the favorites: many associated products try to set them as default, pin them, etc.
For me is the opossite: I like the convenience of not having to pin and select as default Edge. And if a windows update ensures that Edge is the favorite, that's make me happy 
In Spain we say that "it never rains to everyones's taste": you can't please all of the peope all of the time.
Anyway, in the software by default war everybody should down the weapons to reach peace.

It's sad when I have to use the open with internet explorer option to get my website to display correctly. However, edge is improving especially after the last two feature updates I have noticed improvements. I still slap Microsoft by using edge for Bing points and then an hour later switch to IE mode for a website that refuses to load. Microsoft's probably like: "freeloader!" By now.

I use both, Chrome and FireFox for development and testing. I do need at least one browser where no development is going on and which is why I use Edge. I know, that I can always find my emails, drives, and other company related stuffs over there while chrome and firefox usually remain over-tabified!
Definitely, I am not gonna use it for development, but as a user, I have not found any such issues with it.

It lost me at the start when it didn't have an ad-blocker.
I'll unblock for sites that I reasonably trust not to serve me up malware or overly intrusive ads.
Browsing without one on by default feels like sex without a condom - only with those I trust and have a long relationship with and will risk a pregnancy with.
(Cue list of similarities between *ware and pregnancy.)

When I need to do IE/Edge testing I have to fire up my windows vm.  I remember something about having to find IE in the first place (I need both) .

I'm enjoying my $5 Amazon gift cards every month. I spend about 5 minutes of each day using Edge; click.click.click....click, get my points and then close the browser, open up Chrome for the rest of the day.
